Wild Geese

Wild Geese contains a previously unpublished short story "Descent from the Cross", a dozen also previously unpublished, but most accomplished, new poems, as well as fascinating nature writing which can be seen to be in the same vein as The Living Mountain, her zen-inspired work on the Cairngorm mountain range which has now sold over 100,000 copies.

Nan Shepherd was a Scottish Modernist writer and poet. She was an early writer in Scots, who wrote three stand-alone novels set in small, fictional communities in North Scotland. The Scottish landscape and weather played a major role in her novels and provided the focus for her poetry.
